The evolution of coupés of Mercedes, from 1952 to 2006


From 1952, date of launching of Mercedes 300 S Coupé, they have changed enough things, to arriving at present Mercedes CL.
That yes, if something I recognize to him Mercedes is that their models to me continue seeming for a long time pretty that happens, thing that does not happen to me with other marks.

Technically speaking, the SLC should probably be there too as it was Mercedes' top coupé in the 1970's

I really like first one in this pic:



Then of course the W126 onwards... The W140 was a 2-door tank in every sense of the word. It looked so ungainly until you put the right wheels on it, like in the above pic. The C215 was like the bet looking design Mercedes had come up with in nearly 10 years.

That was a damn tractor! One of the ugliest MBs of all time. There are two in my town, one with 19" and other with 20" rims. No, not looking good at all. It only impressed with it's size, but definitely not with design. Again, imo...
